Game Day Baked Chicken Wings
These crispy and flavorful Game Day Baked Chicken Wings taste like the restaurant version with none of the bad-for-you ingredients!
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lb chicken wings preferably organic and pasture-raised
- 5 tbsp hot sauce
- 3 tbsp butter
- Salt
Instructions
- Bring a big pot of water to a boil.
- While the water is heating up, cut the chicken wings to separate the wings and drumettes. You can also cut off the tip if you don't like the way it looks. I like to leave mine on.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully dump the chicken pieces in the water, cover, and let it boil for 8 minutes.
- Drain the chicken wings and lay them on a cooling rack over a baking sheet pan in a single layer. No need to grease the pan!
- Place in the refrigerator without covering for at least 2 hours so the wings can dry.
- Preheat the oven to 450 F.
- Take out the wings and bake for 20 minutes, then flip, and bake for another 10 minutes.
- While the wings are baking, pour the hot sauce and butter in a big mixing bowl and microwave for a minute or 2 until the butter is melted.
- Whisk the mixture with a fork.
- Once the wings are done, dump them in the mixing bowl with the sauce in it.
- Toss the wings with a big spoon or a spatula so they are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Serve and eat!
Notes
If you want extra crispy wings, you can put the wings uncovered in the fridge for 1 hour or more after step 6 so they dry out even more. Take them out 30 minutes before you put them in the oven!
Play around with the ratio of the hot sauce and butter for the sauce depending on your spice level. More butter=less spicy.
